This morning's smoke: I had taken a dry Arturo Fuente Cigar, crumbled and shredded it up, mixed it with some Smokers Pride Cherry cavendish and refreshed it for a few weeks in a small Glad container with screw on lid. Just had a bowl in a Savinelli Erica Fiamma 128 straight grain billiard with vulcanite stem. It was much stronger than the Old Toby I'm used to but not unpleasant ! Along with real Columbian coffee with light cream it has a pleasant aftertaste. It will be a good occasional back up tobacco and a little goes a long way. It also burned nicely to fine white ash. I did need to dump the ash, stir and relight one time. I also had to pack it a slight bit tighter than my usual tobaccos to burn evenly.

Good day all! Starting with a redo of yesterday, namely Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls in a Tilshead Semibent. Very nice.

I disagree about Yorktown. That's why I only ten pounds.

I believe you are one of a few that persuaded me to try it. No regrets.

What are your (or other's) thoughts on the Big Ben Barbados?

I have one and would consider it a reverse calabash and nose warmer. The rim is small, which is not an issue (and no rim charring is possible). It has an open draw, which I love, and the chamber is deceptively larger than expected (I thought it would be more of a pocket pipe for a quick smoke).

I hear it's supposed to be similar to an Al Pascia Curvy. I think the Barbados is Simi but skinner.

I'm curious to know thoughts on the Curvy as well.

I like the Big Ben Barbados quite a bit. The chamber is large but the pipe itself is a great size to cup away in my hand while walking or driving. The only thing I don't like on mine is the insane amount of fills.

Trying to finish a bowl of SG Navy Flake from yesterday in a pipe I forget what it's called at the moment. It's pretty though.
